the biggest prank in Inkwell history

planning for a prank

cuphead and mugman returned home after working on their punishment, awaiting them was a very curious elder kettle standing outside the house waiting to hear how they got on

"so boys, I hope you have learnt your lesson," said elder kettle as he returned into his house to make some tea for them all

"yes elder kettle "mugman said trying to hide his shame ( he hated lying)

" of course elder kettle, we will go and wash our hands before tea," said cuphead innocently, grabbing his brother's arms and going up the creaky old stairs and into the bathroom

"you still have the bottle right?" asked cuphead washing his hands in the sink

"yeah"mugman sighed as he fished out the bottle from his head, luckily the juice just about covered the bottle from the elder kettle

"perfect" cuphead said enthusiastically as he took the bottle from mugman's grip and hid the bottle under the sink, elder kettle couldn't reach down there due to his bad back

"yeah but...how are we going to get people to drink this " asked mugman as began washing his own hands

"how about a party, we can say it's an apology party and put it in their drinks" cuphead asked enthusiastically, thinking how simple yet ingenious the plan was

"That sounds good but...seeing how small that bottle is...I think that it won't be enough for everyone" said mugman theoretically

"it doesn't matter Mugsy, as long as it affects some of them then we can call it a win," said cuphead triumphantly

"yeah but..." mugman began to only be interrupted by a worried elder kettle from bellow

"boys, tea is ready are you coming down or is something wrong," the old man asked suspiciously

"coming elder kettle" yelled cuphead

" don't worry, everything's going to be A-ok" whispered cuphead as he poked his brother's noes as he exited the bathroom

"fine" mugman grumbled as followed his brother downstairs

there were no conversations as they ate, the tension began to get very awkward so soon as the brothers finished they went straight upstairs to bed

"so who are we pranking" asked mugman as he got inside his bed

"I think we could wing it," said cuphead as he got into his bed

"WING IT" mugman yelled a little too loudly

"SHH" cuphead shushed

they stayed silent so they could hear if elder kettle heard them, but after a few minutes of deathly silence they decided elder kettle was already asleep

"sorry" apologise mugman

"it's good, anyway I meant like, you know, anonymous, poor some of the potions into some of their drinks and wait until the next day to see who has turned" explained cuphead

"how do we know it won't take effect once they take it," asked mugman curiously

"the bottle said it will take about a day to take effect," said cuphead

"but it's a very old potion, so how do we know.." mugman was going to ask before he was interrupted by his and his brother's yawn

"mugs, we've got all tomorrow to sort this out, let's talk about this in the morning" cuphead yawned as he turned in his bed

"night mugman" cuphead finished as he entered a blissful slumber

"night" mugman replied sadly as he tried to sleep

but mugman couldn't stop thinking about all the questions he had, or what could go wrong

(sigh, this is going to go horribly wrong)mugman thought as his tired brain finally gave up

what could go wrong anyway
